When recording a term indicating gender, prefer male and female terms. For these terms, do not capitalize or indicate the source of the term in the $2 subfield. If neither of these terms is appropriate or sufficiently precise, record an appropriate term or phrase preferably using a controlled vocabulary, such as the RVMGD or the [https://www.btb.termiumplus.gc.ca/publications/diversite-diversity-eng.html ''Gender and sexual diversity glossary''], recording the source in subfield 2. For consistency, capitalize the first term in each subfield $a for terms other than male and female. When terms are not from a controlled vocabulary, use the singular form. Use terms rather than ISO 5218 codes.
When recording a term indicating gender, prefer the terns ''masculin'' and ''féminin''. For these terms, do not capitalize or indicate the source of the term in the $2 subfield. If neither of these terms is appropriate or sufficiently precise, record an appropriate term or phrase preferably using a controlled vocabulary, such as the RVMGD or the [https://www.btb.termiumplus.gc.ca/publications/diversite-diversity-eng.html ''Gender and sexual diversity glossary''], recording the source in subfield 2. For consistency, capitalize the first term in each subfield $a for terms other than ''masculin'' and ''féminin''. When terms are not taken from a controlled vocabulary, use the singular form. Use terms rather than ISO 5218 codes.

'''Repeatability:'''
In choosing between repeating a field vs. repeating a subfield: If the only addition to an existing field is an additional term from the same vocabulary, repeat the affected subfield. If the vocabulary source differs, or if another associated element differs (such as a range of dates), repeat the field. Overall best practice: repeat the field when needed for clarity.
